Name: Johnathan "J.R." or "Riz" Rizzolo

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Grade: 12

School: Southridge High School

Hobbies and Interests: Guitar Hero Fanatic, baseball player, surfing,Thrice, Jack Nicholson films, acting and Shakespeare.

Appearance: J.R. stands at 5'11, weighing in at approximately 165lbs. Typical scrawny type who will learn that a high metabolism won't last forever. He has golden blonde hair that at its longest point touches his shoulders. Like many natural blondes John has sky blue eyes that seem to pierce through anything he looks at. His favourite attire consists of a Thrice t-shirt or his California State Guitar Hero Champion shirt, combined with his favourite pair of blue jeans and a pair of white Nike runners.

Biography: Johnathan was born and raised in Highland a place that he loves. He fell in love with the town when he came of age to explore it. The town is like a sanctuary for J.R., a place he can get away from home. Not to say his home isn't one he likes. Riz loves his home, but when you live with 3 sisters, all younger, you need to escape sometimes and get some personal time.

John's parents seperated when he was 14, but he knew it was for the best. His mom found a new man in Shawn, someone whom John gets along great with. One of his happiest days was seeing his mom at the altar smiling at Shawn. It made John proud inside to know his mom was that happy again.

At school J.R. excelled in Business, English and Drama, often citing his dramatic arts teachers as one of the biggest influences on his life. If you ask him about it, he responds with, "He didn't just teach us subject matter, he taught us how to be better people." Riz also played for the baseball team, becoming one of the ace pitchers. He became well known for his friends bringing signs to the game with the quote, "Can You Smell What The Riz Is Cookin?" stolen of course from the WWF's The Rock.

Riz also found a calling so to speak, when he picked up Guitar Hero for the first time. Joking with his friends that it was like a "white guy's DDR", John became well known on youtube and scorehero for his Full Combo 100% runs of some of the toughest songs in the game series. Recently he competed in the statewide Guitar Hero tournament capturing first place in a grueling final round playing of Hangar 18.

Advantages: Johnathan is extremely resourceful, making the most of situations that may seem bleak. He also possesses strong reflexes from playing pitcher and reacting to balls flying right back at him on line drives.

Disadvantages: John has had no formal combat training at all, and despite being able to throw a solid fastball, he isn't a very strong person. His lack of strength, combined the semi-occurance of Tourette's like ticks may cause the competition to overwhelm him.

Designated Number: Male Student no. 58

Designated Weapon: Tire Iron

Conclusions: I wonder if B58'll be able to shred with that tire iron as well as he can shred with an axe? Somehow, I doubt it. I don't know, I just don't have high hopes for this one. I think maybe some nerd'll off him for scoring higher than them on a game of Guitar Hero. Besides all that... doesn't he know? Rock Band is SO much cooler.
